The India Patent Office (IPO) grants Patent Registration in India for Inventions. Once the Patent is registered, the Applicant gets monopoly over his/her Invention for a prescribed period of time (Normally twenty years from the Priority date/Patent filing date). Applicant gets the sole right over the invention to exclude others from making, using, selling and importing the Patent.
In order to get the Patent Registration in India, a specific procedure provided in the Patents Act, 1970 and The Patents Rules, 2003 needs to be followed. Indian Patent Office with its branch offices in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai holds the authority for providing Patent Registration in India. The appropriate jurisdiction for Patent filing under said branch offices is normally decided based on the Applicant’s domicile or place of business or the place from where the invention actually originated. One can also file an application for Patent Registration through online procedures.
